    River City Ransom (From the Nes days). So Streets of Rage with leveling, shopping, and the ability to pick up and throw shit, including the enemies. You learn new moves as you level. 4 player coop with different characters and the ability to unlock some. Very Retro visual style, but with very good animation.

    Those games are just to level your character right? They aren't mini games?

    Yeah, it does seem like the music becomes less retro-sounding as the level progresses.

    hehehe

    Deformed Characters: Check
    Character Leveling: Check
    Object Throwing (including other characters): Check
    Shops (Including Sushi shops): Check
    Coop (4 player): Check

    Things that RCR doesn't have, and this improves upon

    Overworld Map (for replaying old levels)
    the ability to SAVE!!!

    I don't really remember RCR's music, but this music is worthy of soundtrack purchase.

    I haven't gotten far enough to see if this game has multiple paths (because RCR does), but if it doesn't, that would be one attribute that RCR has over this.

    For those that like the music, check out Anamanaguchi, they did the music for the game.

    They do chiptunes music and have at least one CD out that I know of. Saw them live at PAX East and they were awesome.

    Tried the demo, got to the first evil ex but his stupid goth angels killed me while I had him flashing close to death (I think). Not sure if I want to spend for a whole game like this though. Was pissed I had to start over from the very beginning of the level after dieing at the boss and continuing.

    I dunno that you had to start from the very beginning. You could have gone back to the map, and selected the market districts and started from there.

    Sometimes, just to kill time or to earn a little exp, I'll start that level from there and work my way to the boss.

    Played the demo about 6 times now. Gotta say Stills is probably my favorite character of the initial 4, with Scott coming in second. I just love using him for some reason.

    And the music has yet to becoming tiresome.

    I keep checking itunes to see if they update with the soundtrack. Some of their other work has been up there for a while.

    Took a break from the ol' Madden to try this, eh :)

    You get to rent videos for cheap that give you really good stats.
